You're going to be shocked when you find out that the world's most expensive umbrella is NOT encrusted with Swarovski Crystals. It's expensive because of this:
It's made entirely of black top-grade crocodile skin treated for water resistance. That's it. Its also bigger than a regular umbrella, but it's the corocdile skin that makes it so pricey. The umbrella is only available by special order from Billionaire Couture's new London flagship store.
